Chapter 107: Temptation
There are very few pedestrians on Chang'an Street, because a plague quietly swept through Chang'an a few days ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Even the 250,000 Cao troops stationed in Chang'an were not spared, and in the first few days, only some hands and feet were numb, but later some people began to bleed to death. It wasn't until the Taishou Mansion set up a tent to apply pesticides that it improved. The Taishou Mansion ordered that in order to prevent the resurgence of the plague, no one should go out on the streets without permission.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of a large mansion, which was very magnificent. The tall wooden door was closed tightly, and only the plaque of the Zhao Mansion hanging on the gatehouse stood still.
"Go call the door!" The voice came from the carriage, low and hoarse.
The servant who drove the cart put down the whip in his hand, went to the gate, and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
A head peeked out of the door and covered his mouth and nose with a face towel, "Who are you?" ”
"Please report to your master, my master Yin Ke came up to visit." The servant who drove the car was none other than Yin Ke's coachman, who was also dressed in the same way, covering his mouth and nose with a face towel.
"Wait a minute!" The servants of the Zhao Mansion closed the door again and hurried to the lobby to report to their master.
Zhao Kuan, who was sitting in the main seat of the lobby, listened to the servant's report, and looked at the man sitting next to him in surprise, his eyes full of questions.
The big man with a full beard has fair skin and looks out of place. Dahan got up and said to Zhao Kuan, "I'm afraid that the Yin family master has something to say and just wants to talk to the Zhao family master, so I'd better avoid it for the time being." ”
"A few back halls, please." Zhao Kuan hurriedly got up, the fat on his body trembled, and led the big man and the bad people who followed the big man to the back hall.
This person is Yu Le, the bad general of Chang'an, half an hour ago, Yu Le came to see Zhao Kuan from the back door with some bad people. I have been wondering how a bad person with eyes on the top of his head would come to see him from the back door, but now, Zhao Kuan understands. was afraid that Yin Ke would be targeted by bad people, Zhao Kuan's eyes were rolling, thinking about how to receive Yin Ke for a while.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and Brother Yin's body has become tougher." Zhao Kuan walked out of the lobby with a smile on his face.
Yin Ke also laughed out loud and stepped forward to meet Zhao Kuan, "Brother Zhao made fun of it, it's all the fault of this damn plague." ”
"Please!" Saying that, Zhao Kuan introduced Yin Ke into the lobby, and when he left, Zhao Kuan deliberately slowed down half a step, judging from Yin Ke's walking posture, he didn't look like he had just recovered from a serious illness. Zhao Kuan rubbed his arms and thighs, which were still a little numb, and made sure of his thoughts with his family. This plague is the government's statement, and Zhao Kuan never thinks it is a plague, more like poisoning. I vaguely felt that the matter provoked by Yin Ke would not be too small, and it would not have anything to do with the Xiliang Coalition Army outside the city. Zhao Kuan will not be stupid enough to wade into this troubled water, Zhao Kuan has been invincible for so many years, and he can make the right choice at a critical moment is inseparable.
"Brother Zhao, I want to trouble you." Hearing this, Zhao Kuan knew that Yin Ke was starting to get to the point.
Zhao Kuan wiped the water droplets standing on his beard, looked at Yin Ke, smiled on his face, and said in a reproachful tone, "Brother Yin is so polite, he just treats me Zhao Kuan as an outsider." ”
"How could it be, Brother Zhao thought about it a lot." Yin Ke had a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart that this was just Zhao Kuan's appearance. Since Zhong Xuan handed over the sixth transaction of the city defense project to the Zhao family, Yin Ke has kept his distance from Zhao Kuan, and the relationship between the two families has dropped to the freezing point for a while.
Yu Le, who was sitting in the back hall, listened to the conversation in the front hall, sneered and said to himself, "The gap between these two people is not small. ”
"I don't know what Brother Yin needs my little brother's help with?" Zhao Kuan asked Yin Ke tentatively.
Yin Ke didn't answer, just cautiously looked at the servants of the Zhao Mansion around him.
Zhao Kuan, who plucked his hair and was hollow, couldn't he understand what Yin Ke meant, and waved his hand, "You all go down first." ”
Seeing that the servants of the Zhao Mansion had all left the hall, Yin Ke said with reassurance, "I recently had a batch of linen business, which was not rushed out because of the outbreak of the plague. The other party was in a hurry, and there was no way, so he borrowed some with Brother Zhao to save the emergency. ”
"This is easy to do, it will be good for Brother Yin to send someone to my warehouse to pick up the goods later." As soon as Zhao Kuan heard Yin Ke's words, he agreed with a wave of his hand. Before Han Sui raised his army, Zhao Kuan's linen made a large amount of linen, and he originally wanted to make a lot of money. Chang'an was besieged, and all these linen cloths were piled up in the warehouse, and now Yin Ke needs it, and Zhao Kuanqi can't ask for it.
"Then thank you Brother Zhao, there is one more thing to ask for, that is, the official document of going out of the city, and I also ask Brother Zhao to talk to Mr. Zhong." Yin Ke's face was manly, and his tone was much softer.
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Kuan's face was also full of embarrassment, and he said in a low voice, "Don't hide it from Brother Yin, I haven't seen Mr. Zhong for many days." ”
"What's going on?" Yin Ke asked curiously.
Zhao Kuan looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this plague has not been completely cured, and the medicinal materials distributed by the government can only alleviate the plague, but not cure it. ”
Yin Ke's face was full of surprise, his face was very ugly, Zhao Kuan thought that Yin Ke couldn't do business, and he was disappointed. After a while of greetings, Yin Ke left the Zhao Mansion. As soon as Yin Ke left, Yu Le repented from the back hall to the front hall.
"General Yu, I have done what you said." Zhao Kuan's face was full of sneers at this time, and he didn't look like a head of a family at all.
Yu Le arched his hand towards Zhao Kuan, "There is the head of the Zhao family, you can talk to Mr. Zhong in the future." After speaking, Yu Le quietly left the Zhao Mansion from the back door of the Zhao Mansion with a few bad people.
As soon as he boarded the carriage, Yin Ke seemed to be a different person, with a faint smile on his face, and said to himself, "It seems that Ma Chao is right, this poison Cao Cao has not been able to completely dismant." As he spoke, Yin Ke's expression suddenly became ruthless, and the green tendons on his forehead were faintly visible, "Zhong Xuan, this time I want to make you look good, and Zhao Kuan, you treacherous thing." ”
In the Jianzhang Palace, Cao Cao leaned on the bed, listening to Yu Le's report, his fingers kept tapping on the bed. Zhong Xuan sat aside, his eyes lowered, and his heart was constantly thinking.
"It seems that some people are starting to get restless." After listening to Yu Le's report, Cao Cao spoke. After a few days of recuperation, Cao Cao's body recovered a lot, but the years were not forgiving, and he still cultivated.
Zhong Xuan nodded and said respectfully, "The prime minister is wise, and with a little trickery, he will let these villains reveal their true form." ”
"Yuan Chang praised it." Cao Cao stroked his beard with a faint smile on his face. Cao Cao ordered people to halve the dose of antidote put into the well water, but it did not fundamentally relieve the numb tendons. In the barracks, medicine is boiled separately to detoxify. and released the news that he and Zhong Miao had not fully recovered, creating a false impression that the poison had not yet been resolved.
Yin Ke came to Zhao Kuan to borrow the goods was fake, and it was true to ask for money through Zhao Kuan's body to test Zhong Xuan's body. Similarly, Cao Cao's letting Yu Le go to Zhao's mansion was also a temptation.
